Brooke L. Blower

This book is definitely not a bit of light reading, in case you are wondering. Although it is densely packed with information, Brooke Blower's writing style makes it easy and entertaining to get through. As to her theme of the book, it really felt like a long catalog of reason of why Americans are hated in Europe. It seems like many of the reasons still resonate today. In generalized words, Americans are pompous, loud, demanding and unsympathetic to the way of life in the country they are visiting. It seems that the French absolutely hated the American presence in Paris.
